Is the bend / vibrato pad part of the device, or is it possible to get that seperately?

I've been looking for something like that for my keyboard (since it is more of a piano than a keyboard per se). I enjoy the full range and weighted keys since I'm usually playing piano pieces but since I've hooked it up to my DAW via midi I've also wanted to get some quality electronica out of it. Sustain pedal and pressure sensitivity is good but you really need that manual bend / vibrato.

it's a Korg nano Pad

but I think a pitch wheel + mod wheel would be cooler OR one of those keyboard joysticks
the korg nano pad works fine and is not expensive and you can also use it to program drums and so on

The trouble is finding a standalone mod wheel that either has MIDI or USB connectivity (where it will be presented as a MIDI controller on the computer).

Is that pad USB / MIDI / standalone?

I always thought the coolest instrument ever would be basically a keyboard where the keys are capable of tracking pressure and the position of your finger on them. You would move your finger up and down the key (towards you and away from you) to bend and do vibrato, and tracking the pressure over time instead of just on the initial press would also be badass.
